Note: Lady Arabella Stuart was an English noblewoman of Scottish descent, a great-great-granddaughter of Henry VII of England and considered as an heir to the English throne of Elizabeth I, before her cousin KingJames VI of Scotland was given preference by Elizabeth's ministers. Her very existence was thought by King James to be a danger, and any marriage was an additional threat to his safety. Her marriage to William Seymour who himself had a claim to the throne led to her arrest and imprisonment in the Tower of London, where she starved to death at the age of 40.
